Eliminative Culinarism

In continuation of the lecture series on universalism after Peirce and Kant and a modern conception of speculative thought, this Thursday and Saturday via video-conference: This is an announcement for the opening of Yves Mettler's installation Drilling Rig from Arnex, 1929 originally made for the festival Les Urbaines and now moved to the Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts where it has been meticulously deconstructed by the artist. Mettler's installation dramatizes and magnifies subtle relations between cosmology, geological time and mobilization of capital on the planet. The installation will also be accompanied by a collaboration between Mettler and I that will gradually develop throughout the course of the exhibition:
I was prompted by yesterday's news of the passing of RAW to scan the pieces he wrote for his 1999 column on GettingIt.com , the progenitor of this webzine.

In this article, [...] “Labyrinth” Starring David Bowie: A Blueprint to Mind Control The 1986 movie Labyrinth, starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, immerses the viewers into a world of fantasy and wonder.
I've started to outline some ideas for taking research and rantings from this blog and putting them into a more accessible book format. Well, a little less accessible as you have to buy or borrow it, but most people would be more receptive to my bizarre rantings were it to be packaged in book format, I think.
